Anyone who goes to the mountains as part of a vacation, sport or recreational trip has certainly appreciated information about the altitude of the place they are going to. On the other hand, those interested in professional mountain expeditions and exploring new paths, even though they usually know what altitude they are at, praise modern technology - such as that used in watches with altimeters.
Choose watches with an altimeter now and see for yourself their support in any situation. Don't wait - order your new watch today and see where you can use it!
The altimeter in the watch works on a similar principle to the barometer - it measures the atmospheric pressure and, thanks to appropriate calculations, indicates at what altitude the user should be. Due to the regular decrease in pressure along with the increase in altitude, the pressure gauge can very accurately determine the user's position above sea level. Thus, no matter what the circumstances, you will be able to check how high you are and whether hiking higher will be harmful to your health.
Watches with an altimeter are also used by aviators and pilots - the difference is that instead of using pressure measurements, the watches use radio waves, determining the distance from the earth's surface.
Regardless of your profession or passion, anyone who goes to the mountains higher than the popular and undemanding hiking trails should get a watch with an altimeter. Not only do they allow you to check whether you will encounter a blizzard or storm at a given altitude, but they also allow you to locate yourself more easily in case you get lost. What's more, a significant number of models of watches with an altimeter have been equipped with additional functions, such as the aforementioned barometer or thermometer, making them an ideal aid in any situation on the mountain trail.
